I'm not sure where we will end up going. One part of us wants something tropical, the other something cold. One part wants something relaxing the other wants something wilderness. So we have been scrolling through thousands of Pinterest pictures and a world map in our efforts to narrow down the search. I think because we don't yet have any little ones in the house we will probably go with another backpacking adventure. I'm imagining lots of hiking, sleeping under the stars and maybe some kayaking. Ooo we'll see!
In preparation for the start of planning we have watched a couple films for inspiration I want to recommend. The first is so inspiring when you are getting ready to plan a trip: 180 degrees South. It's a diary not just of one epic trip to Patagonia, but two and features the founders of both The North Face and Patagonia Inc. More than just gorgeous landscape and amazing adventures, this movie also captivatingly illustrates what drives our need to travel, what is possible when we travel and how to build a truly fulfilling experience.
The second film is just my new favorite movie. I'm sure you have heard about it: The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. I loved every second of this film. It inspires adventure, making something unique of your life and doing what you love. Check it out!
Enjoy!
